Mother’s Day Gift Idea: A Family Photo Session

A Photo Session as a Mother's Day Gift

When you’re thinking about what to get your mom (or your wife, sister, best friend) for a Mother’s Day Gift, it can feel a little overwhelming. Flowers wilt. Candles get used up. But photos? Photos last.

A family photo session isn’t just a gift – it’s a way to freeze this season in time. To give her the chance to be in the photos, not just the one taking them. And honestly? That’s something most moms don’t even realize they’re craving until they have it.

Whether it’s a session with her grown kids, the whole family, or even a few sweet shots with her grandkids, it’s a gift that will mean more as the years go by. Every time she sees those photos on the wall or flips through an album, she’ll remember this season and the people who made it special.

Here’s how it works:

  • You can either book a session now for this spring or summer,
  • Or give a gift certificate so she can schedule whenever the timing feels right.

After the session, she’ll get a full gallery of edited images to look through at home. Digitals are included with every collection, plus a print credit she can use on whatever feels right – whether that’s a framed print for her walls, an album she can flip through with the kids, or gifts for grandparents.

It’s simple, relaxed, and completely centered around what feels most meaningful to her.

Because the best gifts aren’t things – they’re memories. There’s even research showing how much photos help keep memories alive.

Physical Products That Make the Perfect Mother’s Day Gift:

  • Framed prints for her home
  • Heirloom albums filled with family memories
  • Gift prints for grandparents, aunts, and uncles

Everything is printed on archival-quality materials so the memories look just as beautiful years from now as they do today.

If you’re not sure what to choose, I’m always happy to help!

Summer is slipping away and I’m not ready to give it up yet!

We’ve had some fun times - Glenwood Springs, the Adventure park, lake time, the family reunion, 4th of July with cousins and friends… but I still haven’t had enough late nights and slow mornings.

I know school is around the corner (the emails have started, ugh), but I’m fully living in denial for a little longer. Let me soak this up just a bit more.

It’s a visual guide of 3 of my favorite spots in Colorado Springs - beautiful light, easy to get to, and space for your kids to run around and be themselves. If you’re thinking about a session (now or later), it’s a great place to start.

You can grab it in my bio!
